While some of us feel privileged to have Amitabh Bachchan presence in our functions, government of
India doesn't feel the same.
Recently, the Union ministry for Information and Broadcasting
gave a raw deal to Goa Chief Minister Pratapsinh Rane for inviting Big B to inaugurate the 36th
International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
Why?
Sources believe that Amitabh's
proximity with Samajwadi Party might have played the spoilsport. The buzz has it that now SRK and
Sanjay Dutt will be doing the honour. Needless to say that both share a great rapport with ruling
Congress party.
Long live the Democracy!
